Climate Control SystemUsing Automatic Climate ControlThe automatic climate control system maintains the interior temperature you select.
The system also selects the proper mix of heated or cooled air that will, as quickly as
possible, raise or lower the interior temperature to your preference.
Use the system when the engine is running.
1.Press the driver’s or passenger’s AUTO button.
2.Adjust the interior temperature using the driver’s side or passenger’s side control
switch.
3.Press the button to cancel.■Switching between the recirculation and fresh air modes
Press the (Recirculation) button and switch the mode depending on
environmental conditions.
Recirculation Mode (indicator on): Recirculates air from the vehicle’s interior through
the system.
Fresh Air Mode (indicator off): Maintains outside ventilation. Keep the system in
fresh air mode in normal situations.
1Using Automatic Climate Control
If any buttons are pressed while using the climate
control system in AUTO, the function of the button
that was pressed will take priority.
The AUTO indicator will go off, but functions
unrelated to the button that was pressed will be
controlled automatically.
To prevent cold air from blowing in from outside, the
fan may not start immediately when the AUTO
button is pressed.
If the interior is very warm, you can cool it down
more rapidly by partially opening the windows,
turning the system on AUTO, and setting the
temperature to low. Change the fresh mode to
recirculation mode until the temperature cools down.
When you set the temperature to the lower or upper
limit, Lo or Hi is displayed.
Pressing the button switches the climate
control system between on and off. When turned on,
the system returns to your last selection.

uuWhen DrivinguForward Collision Warning (FCW)
Driving
■Automatic shutoff
FCW may automatically shut itself off and the FCW indicator comes and stays on when:
•The temperature inside the system is high.
•The windshield is blocked by dirt, mud, leaves, wet snow, etc.
Once the conditions that caused FCW to shut off improve or are addressed (e.g.,
cleaning), the system comes back on.
1Automatic shutoff
To help reduce the likelihood that high interior
temperatures will cause the camera system to shut
off, when parking, find a shady area or face the front
of the vehicle away from the sun. Also, do not use a
reflective sun shade that can concentrate heat on the
camera.
If the FCW & LDW CAN NOT OPERATE message
appears:•Use the climate control system to cool down the
interior and, if necessary, the defroster mode when
windows are fogged.•Start driving the vehicle to lower the windshield
temperature, which cools down the area around
the FCW system.
Beep Camera-based system
The camera is located
behind the rearview mirror.
The beeper sounds and the BRAKE
message appears in the multi-
information display until a possible
collision is avoided.

uuWhen DrivinguLane Departure Warning (LDW)
Continued
Driving
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)Alerts you when the system detects a possibility of your vehicle unintentionally
crossing over left or right side lane markings.
If your vehicle is getting too close to detected
left or right side lane markings without a turn
signal activated, LDW will give audible and
visual alerts.
The beeper sounds and the LDW indicator
blinks, and the LANE DEPARTURE message
appears on the multi-information display,
letting you know that you need to take
appropriate action.■How the System Works
1Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, LDW has limitations.
Over-reliance on LDW may result in a collision. It is
always your responsibility to keep the vehicle within
your driving lane.
LDW only alerts you when lane drift is detected
without a turn signal in use. LDW may not detect all
lane markings or lane departures; accuracy will vary
based on weather, speed and lane marker condition.
It is always your responsibility to safely operate the
vehicle and avoid collisions.

uuWhen DrivinguBSI (Blind Spot Information)
Continued
Driving
BSI (Blind Spot Information)Is designed to detect vehicles in specified alert zones adjacent to your vehicle,
particularly in harder to see areas commonly known as “blind spots.”
When vehicles in adjacent lanes are approaching your vehicle from behind, the
appropriate indicator comes on, providing assistance when you change lanes with
visual and audible alerts.■How the system works
1BSI (Blind Spot Information)
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, BSI has limitations. Over
reliance on BSI may result in a collision.
The system is for your convenience only. Even if an
object is within the alert zone, the following
situations may occur.•The BSI alert indicator may not come on due to
obstruction (splashes, etc.) even without the BLIND
SPOT NOT AVAILABLE multi-information display
appearing.•The BSI alert indicator may come on even with the
message appearing.
You can turn off the audible alert, or all the BSI alert
using the multi-information display.

of your vehicle, and behind you for other
vehicles before changing lanes.
